I think you should get the one on the far left (like you said you may get) or the one on the far right with the black patch over its eye. Do you know if that one is a male or female? |

Once they're fixed, there's not much difference in terms of dog to dog interaction. There are dominant females too, so that's not just a male thing. That's very much a personality aspect, not a gender aspect. You just have to watch, because pits are not always great with other animals. Even when they've been raised with other dogs, they can snap and turn aggressive once they mature.
Female pits are usually a little calmer, but when males are neutered early, they can be perfectly friendly and loving if not a bit crazy, mouthy, and strong. Either gender will need obedience training, and you'll have to be really careful introducing the new pup to the existing dogs. Just because they get along at first does not guarantee that problems won't develop. I'd wait until they're older and then test them for the best match. You don't want one that shows any guarding of food or toys. You have to pick one that's going to fit in with your other dogs. If you've got two dominant dogs already, another one is going to cause problems and could lead to a dead puppy. |
